Universal Basic Income

Definition

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a government program providing all citizens with a regular, unconditional cash payment, regardless of their other income or employment status. This economic policy aims to reduce poverty, increase economic security, and simplify welfare systems by ensuring a minimum income floor for everyone. In the digital asset space, discussions sometimes involve blockchain-based UBI initiatives that leverage distributed ledger technology for transparent and efficient distribution of funds. It represents a social safety net designed to address economic inequality and the future of work.
